In a week when the stock market gyrated like a Tupperware roller coaster, this also happened:

• San Francisco candy retailer Lolli & Pops, which has 69 stores around the country, filed for bankruptcy, according to the Wall Street Journal.

• The Labor Department proposed a rule that would allow more federal contractors to base employment decisions on religion, which rights advocates said could be used to discriminate against workers for all manner of reasons. The proposal seeks “to provide the broadest protection of religious exercise recognized by the Constitution and other laws,” the Labor Department said. It applies to a wide variety of organizations and companies that claim a religious goal as part of their mission. Naomi Goldberg, policy research director of the Movement Advancement Project, a think tank focused on equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, said the proposed rule “would permit taxpayer-funded discrimination.”

• Billionaire WarrenBuffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, said in filing that it increased its stake in Amazon. It reported that it owned 537,300 Amazon shares at the end of June, up from 483,300 shares. The shares are worth roughly $950 million.

• U.S. long-term mortgage rates remained near historically low levels against a backdrop of volatile financial markets around the globe. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said the average rate on the benchmark 30-year loan was unchanged at 3.60%, its lowest level since November 2016. A year ago the rate stood at 4.53%.

• Dasani, one of the top branded bottled waters in the U.S., is getting a new look. Coca-Cola Co. said it will offer Dasani in aluminum cans and bottles this fall in the Northeast, expanding to other regions in 2020. The company will also introduce a bottle made of 50 percent recycled plastic to reduce the amount of new plastic used in packaging. In addition, there will be at least 100 Dasani PureFill self-serve water dispensers added across the country beginning in the fall.
